[AndyChamberlainMusic]

okay but how do you actually use it?
making it is simple enough, github tells you how to do that
how do I actually use it to pull code onto my server? thats the whole point of this right? Why doesn't anyone say how to do that?

Sticking to arbitrary 3 min limit is silly, without this limit you could've explained slightly more in-depth.

That was short and efficient thanks a lot mate !

Hey man! Could you explain in which cases we should use machine-user? And how is it helpful when we use the machine user's CCI token to trigger cci pipelines.

But if my git server is GitHub itself and I need to use the key for pushing to a specific repository (from its own action) — how do I set a private key for the repo??? How would it authenticate using an incomplete pair?

How do you include one for package.json file when having it access a private repo during GCP deployment?

Explains how to create a deploy key, not how to use it.

Actually, video FAIL and title misleading. You didn't show how to USE it. You showed how to add it. Still 3 years and people trying to find information on how to use Deploy Key. As you can see 16K+ views in 3 years and only 225 likes. No likes for YOU.
